Here they are. ....
--- Among our stories today was this update on Jake Locker's injury and the possibility that he is done for the season. To answer again a question that has been out there a lot, Locker can't get a medical redshirt for this season because he has already redshirted once, in 2006 as a true freshman. Players get five years to play four from the minute they enroll, and can redshirt once, be it for medical reasons or otherwise. To redshirt a second time requires applying for a sixth year. But I've only seen those given in cases of players who miss two ENTIRE seasons, and the only two I've seen awarded at UW were for players who missed two entire seasons consecutively --- center Juan Garcia and WR Patrick Reddick. WR Gerald Harris was denied a sixth year in 2000 after he redshirted the 1995 season, then missed all of 1997 with an injury, as an example of how difficult it can be to get sixth years.
---- I also wrote this story today on OSU's Rodgers' brothers and their road to Corvallis.
--- We also had this today on the graduation rates at UW and WSU. When I posted some of this info yesterday, a few of you asked if there is a way to know how the grad rates are for Tyrone Willingham. There really isn't, as none of his classes have yet gone through four years. The grad rates released yesterday are for the incoming classes of 1998-2001, and at UW, that means it's been pretty much a collaborative effort of all the coaches for the success of the grad rates. The 2001 class, for instance, was brought in by Rick Neuheisel but also played for Keith Gilbertson and Willingham.
--- Also in our paper today, Bud Withers hands out his mid-year Pac-10 awards. Suffice to say UW needn't worry clearing out any room in its trophy case.
--- Here's the latest from Paul Buker's Beavers blog.
--- Buker also has this on OSU safety Al Afalava, whose hit sent Locker to the hospital in Corvallis last year.
--- The Corvallis Gazette-Times has this mid-season look at the Beavers.
--- The Eugene Register-Guard weighs in with these Pac-10 notes, including a couple of UW-related items.
--- Oh how Boeing must be proud of that Apple Cup sponsorship this year with the Cougars and Huskies residing 1-2 in ESPN's Bottom 10.
--- ESPN's Ted Miller says an upset this week isn't out of the question.
--- Ken Goe's links yesterday included his look at what has happened to UW.
All for now.
